9 St John Street are delighted to announce Brian McCluggage has been appointed Head of the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Group in Chambers. Mike O'Neill will continue to offer his excellent support as Deputy Head of the Group. 

Chris Kennedy KC, Head of Chambers commented:
"I could not think of a better person to take over as head of the PI group than Brian. His reputation as a practitioner is second to none and he has been a constant and ready source of advice and encouragement to the other members of the group. I know that they will be as delighted as I am by this news."

Brian McCluggage, Head of the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Group commented:
"I was the junior tenant in chambers when the PI & Clinical Negligence Group was formed in 1997. Since that time the Group has evolved such that we now number 38 counsel, including 2 silks, undertaking blue chip work on a national basis across the full spectrum of personal injury & clinical negligence litigation. I am delighted to be asked to lead this very successful team of specialist practitioners into an exciting next chapter for the Group."
